riding Bones

[j\v livestock]

i was just wondering why no more talk from the guys that they are not going to ride bones ? his last two trips he was packing weight after eight scott

[Travis Eckroth]

he is a bucker.
his last 2 trips weren't near as good as when he changed direction and kicked harder and bucked Justin and Guilerme off before.

that direction change is what got them.

they'll ride him 2-3 more times this year I think.

If he stays in the spin I think he will get ridden more than that. Like you said, the direction change with the big kick is what got most. :cigar:

is that all they are going to buck him ! he is a good bull but i think the top end guys are going to draw now cause it's worth 90 points jmo scott

if, and a BIG IF matt hadnt slapped him he would have rode him. he was still rank with both guys at OKC. Bones is STILL a great bull.

I would have a hard time marking him 90. What's up with 93.5!!! There's something in a name I guess!! :speed_eek:

There is no doubt the bull still bucks, but I agree with most of you in that the direction change is what gets em on the ground. Still a good trip both nights he was out but doesn't seem to me that he had the kick and drop I was gettin used to seein either.

I thought so originally, but I watched his trip with J.B. again this morning. Bones was pretty darn rank, but Mauney stuck it all over him. I thought 93.5 was just about right.

And like Justin said, the bull is still pretty solid. Matt did slap him, so the bull has still only been ridden once. And that's a nice accomplishment any way you slice it.

I'd be interested to see if J.B. would have ridden him if he had no time to prepare. He had an entire week, and that had to have helped a little.

It seems that a lot of bulls tend to loose their drop and steep style of kicking after being on tour for a length of time.

I think there are a few factors that lead to that.
